This Autumn has been a bit charity-tastic. You've already seen my Innocent Hats, but I've also just finished Sober October - I didn't drink any alcohol for the whole of October to help raise money for MacMillan Cancer Support. They're a brilliant cause, but I must admit to be glad that month is over! And now it's time for Wife of Brian's favourite charity, Movember! You'll probably see lots of men around and about growing tasches to raise money to help fund prostate cancer research (well done Mo's), but if you can't grow your own then you can pick up a woolly version from my shop. I'll be donating 2% of my sales during November to the charity.

To celebrate Movember, there's lots of moustache antics going on this month.

My lovely publishers over at Love Crafts have released a free pattern from my book. You can download it here. And once you've made your moustache, tweet us a picture of you wearing it using #KnitYourOwnMoustache and you could win a free copy of my book! All sorts of awesome.

And if you'd like some help making up your moustache, I'm running some free workshops at the brilliant Renegade Craft Fair this Sunday (10th November). I'll be on the Mollie Makes stand (exciting) 1.30pm-3pm and 4.30pm-6pm. The workshops are free but you'll need to sign up on the day. Click here for more info.

And don't forget, the super folks over at Crafty Magazine are running a competition to win a copy of my book and lots of knitting gooodies. Click here to enter. You'll find the answer in issue 7, which also includes my Halloween patterns. Here's some hilarious pics of the Crafty Team and their own moustache makes:
